Common problems we fix in Cheetham Hill
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in Cheetham Hill
Cheetham Hill: your questions answered
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
